More books

Saturday morning I stopped by the annual used book sale at Unionville High School. I've learned to avoid going on Friday evening, when the sale opens, because that's when hordes of, shall we say, motivated dealers with their large rolling carts show up. Saturday drew a nice crowd of shoppers, along with lots of parent and student volunteers, to the renovated high-school gymnasium.
There's always a huge variety of books, from seemingly dozens of copies of bestsellers like "Eat, Pray, Love," "Three Cups of Tea" and "The Memory Keeper's Daughter" to an obscure subgenre called "Feminist Mysteries" that until yesterday I'd never heard of. I liked the title of one book about writing, "How to Write Without Knowing Nothing." And a 1949 book, "The Road Ahead to Socialism: American's Creeping Revolution," sounded quite contemporary. I ended up buying a book of Ruth Rendell short stories, a charming Dr. Doolittle story and a history book.
I think all the books that I donated, including a 10-inch-thick unabridged Webster's dictionary, must've sold on Friday, because I didn't spot any of them.
